Subject: gem install rails hangs

Doesnt looks rails-specific, any gem will hang after I get the followin
message: "Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org".
The problem is identical to the one described here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/eaa8028a9593aade/ed0a99da8c495724
      (after he had fixed his initial error).

Also, Tim's test script (from the url above) fails in a similar
fashion:

require 'socket'

hostname = ARGV[0]
puts "Making socket to #{hostname}"
sock = TCPSocket.new(hostname, 80)
mesg = "GET /yaml.Z HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: #{hostname}\r\n\r\n"
puts "writing to socket #{hostname}: " + mesg
sock.write mesg
puts "Wow, no hang!"

It doesnt make it past sock.write.  I'm using Ruby 1.8.2 (from the
one-click installer) and RubyGems 0.8.11 on Win Xp Pro x64.  I've also
tried 1.8.4 and had the same problems.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Scott
